I live in Canada on the ice and at the end of March, some people with clubs will come here and brutally beat me and my baby harp seal friends. Most of us are too young to move quickly enough to get away from these attackers, there's no escape. They take advantage of us. Some of us will even be skinned alive right here on the ice! Yes, that's what happens!

Every year they do this to nearly 300,000 of us, all because our fur is soft and pretty and humans want it for coats and other things.

I'm so scared! Like every living thing, I don't want to die a cruel and painful death. Won't you please take action to speak up for me? I cannot defend myself. I only can hope that one day the Canadian government will put an end to the suffering that this industry causes.

The Story

I’ve been asked how I decided to name my blog Where In The World?. Sure, I considered words that capture my passion for travel, like “destination”, “wanderlust”, “voyages” or “passport” or “explore”. And I even pondered song titles like Leaving on a Jet Plane or Life is a Highway. But I’m often (ok, always) musing “where in the world?” I want to go next, so naturally my blog reflects that. And I’m delighted that you’re here, joining me for the journey, no matter Where In The World? I am.
